Aging-in-place services should help you enjoy health and independence at home while staying flexible to your evolving needs. WellAhead — A WesleyLife Well-Being Experience is designed to benefit members with services and programming that support their well-being while providing a solid plan for an uncertain future. If you’re considering this program, learn about six benefits you could enjoy as a WellAhead member.
1. Remain in the home you love for as long as possible.
Some older adults look forward to moving to a community where they can enjoy perks such as campus amenities and a low-maintenance lifestyle. However, 93% of older adults hope to remain in their current homes as they age, according to U.S. News & World Report.
Aging in place is a worthwhile goal, but it’s not without challenges. If you want to stay at home, you need a plan to ensure your living situation supports your well-being. WellAhead honors your desire to remain in your home and provides practical support to make doing so a long-term reality. Through aging-in-place services designed to promote your health and make living at home more convenient and feasible, you can enjoy independence in the space you love for as long as possible.
2. Enhance your physical health.
Some aspects of WellAhead share similarities with long-term care insurance (LTCI). However, whereas LTCI only benefits you if your health declines, WellAhead is designed to enhance your life from the moment you become a member.
WellAhead supports your well-being and independence in a number of key ways. As a member, you can benefit from:
- Routine meetings with a personal wellness coach to help you design and work toward your wellness goals.
- Access to state-of-the-art fitness centers and exercise classes at WesleyLife communities.
- A variety of in-home services to choose from, including deliveries of fresh greens and nutritious meals.
3. Socialize and connect with others.
WellAhead doesn’t just help you feel comfortable at home; it opens up opportunities for you to branch out, meet new people, and enjoy new experiences. If you’re interested, you can participate in group events or classes with other WellAhead members or WesleyLife community members. Meeting peers and forming friendships with others who share your belief in a joyful, intentional aging experience can greatly enrich your life.
You also can form meaningful connections with your wellness coach and WellAhead team members. You can look forward to familiar faces who cheer you on and assist you each step of the way.
4. Tailor your membership to your ever-changing needs.
WellAhead allows you to prioritize the services that matter to you each month. As your needs evolve, your membership flexes with you and supports you in exactly the ways you need. Maybe this month, you want to take advantage of pet care and light housekeeping to lighten your to-do list; next month, you might want a massage to help you feel your best.
WellAhead also can flex with you in more significant ways. If you experience a considerable change in your health, your membership will provide new forms of support. That could look like more extensive aging-in–place services or a move to community living. Whatever support best fits your situation, WellAhead will be there to provide it.
5. Protect your assets with a predictable monthly cost.
If you’re worried about how you’ll pay for future care needs, WellAhead can replace that worry with security and predictability.
When you join WellAhead, you’ll pay a one-time entry fee and an ongoing monthly membership fee. If your needs change and you require an enhanced level of health care, the program will cover the majority of primary costs within a WesleyLife community or through WesleyLife at Home — providing financial peace of mind when it matters most.
Considering the cost of long-term care, the WellAhead program quickly pays for itself should you ever need this service.
6. Experience peace of mind knowing future needs will be met.
In addition to worrying about costs, you also may worry about accessing care in the future due to what many in the media deem an impending “senior care crisis.” According to the American Health Care Association, 57% of long-term care centers already have waiting lists for new residents, and access to care is only expected to become more strained as the population ages and senior living communities fail to keep up with demand.
This care shortage is cause for concern, but WellAhead members can rest easy knowing they are ensured access to a full continuum of care. The WesleyLife network of senior living services is ready to support WellAhead members through the in-home services or level of community living that best fits their needs.
